A patch of ivy growing near Compton Mill lock must have been in a favourable position. It had already started flowering earlier than the rest, over a week ago, so there were wasps all over it, feeding.

They are so resourcefull…what happens to the wasps in winter?
It depends – there’s lots of different species of wasps. But apparently for some kinds the queen goes off to find somewhere to hibernate while the rest die off.
